Marco Odermatt is unstoppable! On January 17, 2026, the Swiss sensation stormed to his fourth consecutive downhill victory on the legendary Lauberhorn course in Wengen, breaking the all-time record and cementing his status as the undisputed king of speed skiing. This epic triumph marks his 52nd career World Cup win, moving him within striking distance of the all-time greats!
Despite brutal winds forcing organizers to shorten the course dramatically, Odermatt mastered the narrow, tactical “Kernen S” section like no one else, carrying unbeatable speed out of the key turns to finish first with authority. He left the rest of the field in his dust:
🥈 Vincent Kriechmayr 🇦🇹 (+0.79) – The Austrian veteran fought hard for silver!
🥉 Giovanni Franzoni 🇮🇹 (+0.90) – Italy’s rising star grabs bronze in style!
Odermatt now stands alone with four straight Lauberhorn downhill wins, surpassing legends Franz Klammer (1970s) and fellow Swiss Beat Feuz (last in 2020). The home crowd went wild as the 28-year-old crossed the line, arms wide in celebration – this is what alpine skiing dreams are made of!
Here are some electrifying shots from Odermatt’s dominant run:
